Monday morning blues are something that every employee faces. Whether they are a veteran employee or a new joiner. This gets amplified, especially because the brain is suddenly forced to work after two days off. Well, there is a new social media trend doing the rounds to break away from these Monday morning blues. It goes by the name of - Bare Minimum Mondays.
The trend started with TikToker Marisa Jo Mayes in response to the stress caused by the mountain of work pending on Monday. In an interview with Business Insider, she said that initially, she thought that it was hustle culture that was leaving her overworked and burnt out but later she realized it actually the pressure of Monday, which she would start anticipating on Sunday itself. She said,“ Every week, the "Sunday scaries" would hit, and every Monday, I'd sleep in until the absolute last second because I knew that list was waiting for me. The pressure I was putting on myself was paralyzing, and I realized something had to change.”
